Colour
Deep ruby red with garnet reflections, indicating both concentration and maturity. Brilliant and clear in the glass.
Bouquet
Elegant and layered, the nose opens with aromas of black cherry, wild berries, and dried violets, evolving into deeper tones of leather, sweet tobacco, balsamic herbs, and subtle spice. Hints of licorice, cocoa, and cedar wood add further complexity.
Flavour
Refined and powerful with a silky texture and firm, polished tannins. The palate delivers ripe red and black fruit, including maraschino cherry and plum, followed by notes of earth, graphite, and dried herbs. The vibrant acidity gives freshness and energy, while the long, mineral-driven finish underscores the wine’s aging potential and elegance.

Description

Grape: 100 % Sangiovese

Winemaking:

The wine is then aged for 24 months in large oak casks (Slavonian oak), a traditional Brunello method that preserves the varietal purity and allows for a gradual integration of tannins. After barrel aging, the wine undergoes additional refinement in bottle for another 12–18 months before release.

This careful and patient process results in a harmonious, structured, and long-lived Brunello that faithfully reflects the GAJA family’s precision and the unique terroir of Montalcino.
